Public Transportation

The RTD College Pass is available to all active (enrolled) Anschutz Medical Campus degree seeking students. The pass is supported by a mandatory, student use fee of $53.35 per semester.

The AMC RTD College Pass INCLUDES all regular fixed route service, including bus (local, express, regional), light rail, call-n-Ride, and skyRide service (free to AMC students with RTD College Pass).

Services NOT included in the RTD College Pass program are: access-a-Ride, BroncosRide, RockiesRide an​d other special event services.

For any term in which the degree-seeking student enrolls for academic credit at the Anschutz Medical Campus, the fee will be assessed. Waivers out of the College Pass Program and fee will be allowed only for individual students who meet specific criteria which is outlined in the Fee Waiver Application form. Detailed information about the waiver process as well as the form may be found in the Waiver document link below.

Students enrolled in clinical rotation courses which take them outside of the RTD service area must pay​ the per-term fee.

In the event that a degree-seeking student is not enrolled in a particular term, per RTD regulations, the fee​ and associated transit services cannot be ‘opted into’ for that particular term.

Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for the RTD College Pass.

The CSU Public Health and UNC Public Health students are not eligible for the RTD College Pass, and are not assessed the fee.

For new students, the College Pass will be distributed by the Security Badging Office during matriculation. Students will be scheduled for their Anschutz Campus ID Pictures, and the RTD College Pass ID will be prepared and distributed at the same time.

Continuing studentsFor continuing students (those enrolled as degree seeking in an AMC degree program), the College Pass will be available before the beginning of the next term.
